Singular and plural nouns worksheet for grammar practice.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to convert each singular noun into its plural form.

We'll go through the list, applying standard English pluralization rules:

General Rules for Plural Nouns:

1. Most nouns: Add -s
→ *book → books*
2. Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z: Add -es
→ *brush → brushes*, *box → boxes*
3. Nouns ending in -y (preceded by consonant): Change -y → -ies
→ *city → cities*, *baby → babies*
But if preceded by a vowel, just add -s
→ *day → days*
4. Nouns ending in -f or -fe: Often change -f → -ves
→ *leaf → leaves*, *knife → knives*
5. Irregular plurals: Some words have unique forms
→ *child → children*, *man → men*, *mouse → mice*
6. Some words are the same in singular and plural:
→ *sheep → sheep*, *deer → deer*

Now let’s apply these rules to each word:
